Rob,
it looks like you're doing a very nice job, congratulations !
I'll start building a Guillemot in November, and I'm gathering all the information/tricks that I can find about their construction. From your pictures 3, 4 and 5 it seems that you're building the knee braces at the same time (or using the same strips) with which you're building the cockpit recess, and later on glassed everything together (plus some carbon in the glass). Would you mind explaining a little bit how you're doing it ? Any advantages / disadvantages / precautions that should be taken into account ?
Thanks,
Hugo
